Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City betting predictions
Manchester City to Win – 4/6 – Man City slipped to a second Premier League loss in a row last weekend, though they created more than enough clear openings to earn at least a point against Brighton (0-1), a week after spurning more big chances in a defeat to Aston Villa (1-2).
Enzo Maresca’s wasteful side could get back on track at the City Ground. Second-from-bottom Forest’s 2-0 reverse at Brentford was their fourth defeat in five league assignments, and the Tricky Trees are out on their own as the league’s lowest-scoring team.
Head coach Oliver Glasner tore into his players publicly in the post-match press conference and you get the sense that the Austrian’s Forest project is about to implode completely. City could light the fuse here.

Both Teams to Score – 3/5 – Clean sheets have been hard to come by for Man City this season and in 16 fixtures since the start of the campaign, including the Community Shield, the Cityzens have kept their opponents off the scoresheet just five times.
That record suggests Forest might find joy in the final third on Saturday evening. Despite their poor results, Glasner’s side have been creating chances and they actually rank third in the Premier League for expected goals (xG). With that in mind, back BTTS to land for the seventh time in eight City fixtures.

Odds – 6/1 – Place bet on Virgin Bet
Liam Delap over 1.5 fouls (3/5) — As a former Man City academy graduate, Liam Delap will be keen to make an impression, though that may well come in the form of fouls rather than shots and goals. The striker has been conceding 2.27 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season and has committed more fouls in total (15) than any other Forest player.
Erling Haaland over 1.5 shots on target (4/9)— City remain hugely reliant on the Norwegian to put the finishing touches to their moves in the final third. Haaland has had 34 shots in the Premier League this season, which is twice as many as City’s next-best performer for that metric (Cherki – 17). Haaland has also been averaging 1.80 shots on target per 90 minutes in the division this term.
James McAtee over 1.5 fouls (11/10) —Another former City youngster, McAtee has been committing 1.18 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, though we expect that average to climb on Saturday. McAtee will be skirmishing with ex-Forest star Elliot Anderson in midfield. City’s mega money signing has drawn more fouls (28) than any of his teammates, and indeed, any other Premier League player since the summer.
Over 12.5 Nottingham Forest fouls (11/20)— Forest rank second in the Premier League this season for average fouls conceded per 90 minutes (14.10) and they could hit big numbers for that metric again when they host Man City. The visitors have been averaging more possession per game (64.1%) than any other team in the top tier, so Forest should have ample opportunity to stick the boot in.
